Lower Back Pain

KMD1106 · February 2013

I'm sure if it is just because of the way I'm sleeping or what is going on, but some days my lower back really aches. I know this usually happens in later pregnancy, but can start as early as 8 weeks. Anyone else experiencing this wonderful joy of pregnancy? STMs, did you deal with this last time and did it go away in the 2nd tri?

I had it a little in 1st tri with DS. This time I have had since finding out I was KU. Not really doing anything other than dealing with it...

I have it, I have lower back ache and my hips hurt alot. It is worse when I walk alot or am on my feet too much. All I do that helps is sit down and put my feet up if I can and it usually eases up..

My back has been hurting a bit since close to 7 weeks. I thoight I pulled it or something but I think it would have healed by now so it must be from pregnancy even though this is my first and I'm not very far along. It's a sharp pain near the end of my spinal cord slightly on the right. It's noticeable but not so bad that it interferes with my day at all and it's mostly just when I walk. I'll mention it at my next doctor's appointment but I'm not too concerned right now.

My lower back hurt in the beginning and it was a dull ache. I've never had lower back pain in my life so I was immediately concerned. Your body starts producing a hormone called relaxin to help expand your pubic ligaments to prepare your body. Since the hormone is circulating through your body it can also affect other ligaments as well.
